Principles of Smile Design
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a beautiful smile is priceless. To design the most aesthetically pleasing and optimally functional smile, we follow the nine main Principles of Smile Design taking into account your unique facial features.
Midline
Symmetry is a defining feature of an attractive smile.By ensuring symmetry of the two front teeth as well as neighbouring teeth, the appearance of symmetry can be created in your entire smile.
Horizontal Alignment
Smile lines that are parallel to the horizontal axis of your face are generally considered most attractive.
Smile Line
One of the most important characteristics of a great smile, a smile line is created by drawing an imaginary line from the biting edges of the back teeth around to the front teeth. A curved smile line makes you appear significantly younger.
Gum Line
The most aesthetic smiles have symmetrical gum lines that follow the upper lip.i.e the gummy smile correction
Smile Width
In the ideal smile, the teeth towards the back of the mouth can be seen in progression.If the smile is narrow, the back teeth are often in shadow causing the sides of the smile to appear dark.
Embrasures
Embrasures are the natural, slight triangular spaces between the tips of your teeth.The most natural, youthful looking smile has small embrasure spaces at the front which gradually get larger towards the back teeth.
Golden Proportions
The golden proportion is a mathematic relationship found throughout nature.It is used as a starting point when designing your smile.
Tooth Proportion
When creating the ideal smile, the size of each tooth is governed by an ideal proportion.
Tooth Shade
It is possible to change the shade of your teeth while designing your new smile.We have a variety of colour and translucency options to choose from in order to give you a smile so natural it looks like one you were born with.
